Dallas Linebacker Brookings needs one to wipe the tears from his eyes! All things being equal I personally would not have attempted to score again.But only a few plays prior to the TD pass Brookings was kneeling on a Vikes player that had just caught a pass and intentionally delayed the player from getting up.He also gave the Vikes player a shove back down toward the ground as he took his knee off of him. For him to call someone classless is funny.He was attempting to humiliate a guy by not letting him up.Favre threw a TD pass against a team attempting to play defense. None of us were there,none of us know the trash talking that may have been going on.Hopefully Brookings found some cheese for his Whine after the game!
MINNEAPOLIS -- Tempers flared Sunday at the Metrodome after Minnesota's final touchdown of a 34-3 playoff victory over Dallas, as Cowboys linebacker Keith Brooking sprinted toward the Vikings' sideline, taunting coach Brad Childress and later calling the late score "classless." Vikings nose tackle Pat Williams, meanwhile, said Brooking was lucky to escape the Minnesota sideline in one piece. "We don't care what Keith Brooking says," Williams said. "He was about to get his ass whupped on our sideline over there. It don't matter. Nobody said anything when they blew out the Eagles [the past two weeks]. "It's the playoffs. It ain't no regular-season game. If you lose, you go home. We take no pity on them. Do they expect us to? I don't care about no Brooking. He can say whatever he wants to say." With the Vikings leading 27-3 late in the fourth quarter, Childress left his starters in the game. The Cowboys gave up the ball on downs at their 37-yard line with 5:26 remaining, and the Vikings threw three passes on their ensuing six-play drive. The final one was an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Visanthe Shiancoe on fourth-and-3 with 1:55 remaining. "Just staying aggressive with it, if you will," Childress said after the game. "We put our defense back on the field and we talked to all the coordinators -- offense, defense, special-teams guys -- that we weren't going to put the field goal group on the field. "As Lou Holtz used to say, 'It's our job to score points. It's their job to stop us from scoring points.' That happens. It wasn't rubbing it in. It's just taking care of business and being aggressive at the end of the game." Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said the Vikings ran up the score, and Brooking agreed. "I thought it was classless," Brooking said. "I thought it was B.S. Granted, we get paid to stop them, but we had zero timeouts left. I didn't think there was any call for that." Shiancoe laughed after hearing Brooking's comments. "OK, we apologize. I'm sorry. Better?"
I saw that too Scot. The guy Is very high strong, should've put more energy Into playing defense maybe then running his mouth before and after the game. I too think that the last TD was an In your face thing to a player or 2 who were talking junk from being dominated all afternoon. If that was the case they had It coming and then some. Poor Brooking.
Simple Tuths. Favre killed the Dallas defense in the playoffs on national TV. One of there linebackers cried. I guess he needed a few more million to stop the Vikings. I LOVE it when pros run up the score.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd1WYX_NajA Doesnt look like much, but i dont like how he held him up. Let em play. "Favre doesnt here him because hes too busy winning" Classic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_TtWMmddbc "Its bullcrap. I dont care. What matters is right here right now today" 34-3
Bush league, uncalled for, lack of class, no sportsmanship, etc........ I wonder if Favre would have gone out another series after that play if he had the opportunity.
Opinions vary on whether it was running up the score or not...but I will tell all of you one thing...WHEN THEY WERE BEATING MY BELOVED FALCONS (keith's hometown team, that paid and loved him for many years) HIS PUNK BUTT HAD NO PROBLEM RUNNING OVER TO THE FALCONS SIDELINE AND DOING THE DIRTY BIRD AND MOCKING THEM)...reap what you sow keith. If you could get back in coverage you would still be with us. Cowboys fans, any team with a decent intermediate passing game will eat him up, do not let 110 tackles fool you, he gives that all back when teams throw over the middle...and yes I was a fan when he was here, and pissed when we let him go.
